It
sounds great being your parents’ ultimate princess or prince getting all the
stuff you need and being dependent at all times. But what does it take to be called
a matured individual? Does age determine the prime of life?
Well,
here are some tips that each of you should know before entering the real world
and adulthood stage to conquer success and smooth path along the journey.
Consider Talking To Strangers
You
were trained not to talk to strangers at your young age but let us face it, you
will never survive this cruel world without jiving with other people.
Asking
someone for directions, talking to a faculty, to managers, bank tellers,
security guards, bus drivers, janitors, mechanics and name it, approaching a
stranger is a required interpersonal skill. You can never go wrong when you try
approaching some stranger along the
way.
Practice Managing Workload and Deadlines
Deadlines
and workload will not adjust for you. Though it is negotiable, we Filipinos
have the diligence at work, but millennials today seem to lack discipline and
patience. Learn to manage your time. You can be more productive by having a
planner and listing all the stuff to be done. Take in mind, first things first.
If everything is your priority, then nothing could probably finish.
Know Your Strengths and Weaknesses
You
were uniquely and wonderfully made so don’t ever think you do not have any
talents within. Singing, dancing, acting or in the field of visual arts,
practice more and enhance what you have. And with those weaknesses you have,
turn it into strength by doing more and focusing on what your strengths are.
Learn How To
Save
Describing
your salary status as Dead on Arrival? Of course you wouldn’t want to tell this
when you start working and enter the world of adulthood. A penny would not matter
any way, just like saving 10 or 20 pesos a day. Having bigger amount soon would
be easier that way. You can also search for tips online on how to effectively
save even if you are still a student. There are helpful articles online or
videos on Youtube that’ll help you to save more money at your young age! Or
maybe you can ask your parents on how they would become your ‘partners’ in
saving such money.
Take Risks
This
doesn’t mean taking risks with you love life or career alone. In all aspects
and decisions you make, learn how to have the integrity and right wisdom in
doing such by thinking a thousand times first before saying a word, or simply making
a decision. Never blame someone if you don’t succeed with your choices.
Remember, you may fail but you are not a failure. Learn from your past mistakes
and assess yourself what you can do in the future to avoid committing those
mistakes again—building a new strategy leading to
success.
